ARM Architectureand Processor Cores (By Farsight)  Agenda Introduction to ARM ARM Architecture Programmer’s Model Introduction to Instruction Sets ARM Processor Cores Appendix ARM Ltd ARM founded in November 1990 12 employees in Cambridge. UK Spun out of Acorn Computers Best known for its range of RISC processor cores designs ARM now has over 1400 employees Based in various locations worldwide ARM Offices Worldwide ARM’s Activities Business Built on Partnership Agenda Introduction to ARM ARM Architecture Programmer’s Model Introduction to Instruction Sets ARM Processor Cores Appendix Example ARM based System ARM core deeply embedded within a SoC External debug via JTAG port Design has both external and internal memories Of varying width, speed and size Includes an interrupt controller Core only support two interrupts Includes Primecell peripherals Licensed from ARM Elements connected using AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) ARM Debug Architecture JTAG port allows debug of deeply embedded cores TAP controller provides access to scan chains around core JTAG run control unit (ICE) Converts debugger commands to JTAG signals Cached Processor Terminology MPU – Memory Protection Unit Controls memory access permissions Controls cacheable and bufferable attributes for memory regions MMU – Memory Management Unit Has all the features of an MPU Also provides Virtual to Physical address translation Cache Fast local memory Holds copies of recently accessed memory locations TCM – Tightly Coupled Memory Fast local memory Located at particular address range Write buffer Decouples writes to external memory Development of the ARM Architecture Which architecture is my processor?
